Manchester United vs Chelsea injury news as nine ruled out and three doubts
When Chelsea visits Old Trafford on Thursday for their penultimate Premier League match of the season, Manchester United can lock up Champions League football for the 2023–24 campaign.

Lisandro Martinez (foot), Tom Heaton (ankle), Donny van de Beek (knee), Marcel Sabitzer (knee), and Phil Jones (knee) all out for Manchester United.
Marcus Rashford (illness) is uncertain.
De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Lindelof, Shaw, Casemiro, Eriksen, Antony, Fernandes, Sancho, and Rashford make up Sports Mole’s expected starting lineup.
Benoit Badiashile, Mason Mount, Ben Chilwell, Armando Broja, N’Golo Kante, Marc Cucurella, Marcus Bettinelli, Reece James, and Mateo Kovacic are all out for Chelsea due to injuries.
